OKAY, so here goes. I am attempting to print a document as a brochure
in Writer. Every time I try, though the pages are /usually /in the
right order, the margins are not maintained, causing me to lose part of
the text off the page. I have attempted to manually set margins, use
mirrored margins, use ooo's "brochure" selection in print options, not
use the "brochure" but use my printer's equivalent, etc etc. I tried
saving as a new document and making my page size 5.5 x 8.5 (half size)
and print that way also. I used the "help" section on "Printing a
Brochure" step by step exactly and that did not work. I tried making
sure my printer's heads were aligned. I honestly DO NOT UNDERSTAND what
is causing this not to work. I have wasted approximately 50 sheets of
paper trying every setting in the universe to get this to work. (and
I've only been printing pages 1-4 until I get it to work. I have used
my printer's print preview feature many times and canceled the print too.)
I am running Windows XP, OpenOffice.org 2.3, and I have an HP Deskjet
D1420 printer. I have tried updating the drivers for my printer. This
document was originally imported from a Rich Text Format file, but saved
as an open document (ooo) file. This document has headings, footers,
footnotes, I have added character styles (as font colors for quotes
mostly), paragraph styles, etc. I attempted to save a new document back
as RTF in hopes that I could see if it would work in publisher, but it
didn't convert correctly and the margins/layout was not right, even when
opened back up in ooo. At least my original looks right on the screen
before I try to print.
I tried printing/editing through the page preview/print page view (as
booklet) format but that didn't work either. ONE time the alignment
looked right using this print page view function in my printer's print
preview, HOWEVER the page order was wrong. FOR SOME REASON I am not
allowed to select "brochure" in the print menu when using the print page
view, and the page view does not have a "brochure" layout option (which
doesn't seem to make sense since 'booklet' only shows page one on it's
own line. It should show page 4 and 1 together, then 2 and 3, etc. Do
you see what I mean?) Can anyone help me? PLEASE!?????
(okay I think I will go hyperventilate and pass out now j/k)
Sincerely,
Stephanie Boulée
